I need to get my hands on the first one, so I can read it because... *eyes Jack accusingly* I haven't read it yet.

The Jack of Awesomness

About Jack:

Jack Lewis Baillot has the ability to wear a red shirt because she
is convinced she is Scottish and therefore immune to expendable dying.

It also helps that she has a last name.

Jack claims the title of Author, which makes her feel like a Time
Lord when she capitalizes it. She has a sonic pen which deepens her Time
Lord claims. She enjoys a good Science Fiction story though spends most
of her time writing Fantasy and Steampunk, or a mixture of both.

She believes cliff hangers are terrible and feels the need to apologize over and over when one of her books ends on one.

When
Jack isn't writing, which doesn't happen often, she goes on long hikes
through the ice lands she calls home. She believes she will one day meet
the Abominable Snowman and share a cup of hot chocolate with him.

You can learn more about Jack's other published work and upcoming books at her website, jacklewisbaillot.com

Seriously now, she is quite a delightful author and you are missing out if you haven't read her books.

Who's Flying This Thing?

Call me Treskie. I'm weird. I like to draw. I'm a singer. I like to shoot stuff. I can fangirl with the best of them. Sometimes I trip over nothing. I don't think you're ever too old to believe in fairytales.
